@larslooperman: I sure hope so, Larry, just got a call from our bass player and theres a gig at his place this weekend and Gregg, the sax player, may be free too so could very well be the spring incentive I've been looking for :)

@the-carleton-sound: Was just joking, Roy! LOL ;) When it's nice out, I'm vapor, too, My Friend. I will be permanent vapor in this Summer, when we move South. Will minimize my time on here or - perhaps - free up more??? Who knows?! Anything beats the icy Hellish weather here during Winter-No Spring and then, finally...Wham-Bam.....Summer in July! :)

@hessen-riff: I really miss doing collaborations and find I don't really have the time to do both so will be signing off sometime around the end of May and will return in the fall :) and besides summer here is way to short to be spending anytime down in the basement Hessen :)))

@hessen-riff: a probably raised the bar of expectation a tad too high :))) but how about this, Hessen, I'm saving one of my favorites for a last hurrah when we get ready to go on sabbatical from soundcloud in late spring :)))

@guitarman2010: Thank you Ian... this is a 2 part series, the 1st set was very early in the evening when we were warming up which explains all the chit chatting... we chalk it up to atmosphere... the second part, same time this Tuesday coming, takes place later in the evening and is one of my all time favorite sets (to date) and includes saxaphone man who arrived late to the gig (you may have heard him come in when someone asked: "Did you get lost or did you get lucky!" :)

@hessen-riff: I'm never sure when it comes to groups where we fit in Hessen so thank you for making it easy :)) PS, can't recall if I mentioned this but the second part of this series, posting same time next week, is one of my all time favorite sets :)
